    Easy Seafood Stew Recipe - So Hearty and Healthy

    March 23, 2018 by Patti Estep 8 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This easy seafood stew recipe is perfect for lunch or brunch, and hearty enough for dinner. Keep it light and healthy, or add a little cream to make it extra rich and creamy.

    Seafood Stew Made Easy

    I've been trying to incorporate more and more seafood into our diet. It's healthy, and we really like seafood. Unfortunately it's not always easy to get good, fresh seafood where we live. However, I found that when you are making soups and casseroles, you can get away with frozen items, that taste just as good. Case in point is this easy seafood stew, which I made with frozen cod, shrimp and canned clams.

    Raw fish and shrimp

    The shrimp was also frozen and pre-cooked. These are items that you should be able to buy at any supermarket.

    Of course you can change it up and use different types of fish. I like cod because it's readily available, a little on the meatier side, and has a very light taste. Onions, carrots and celery typical to many soups and stews make up the base.

You could use any thinned skin potato, such as white or red new potatoes. Just make sure that you chop them into bite sized pieces. If you use russet potatoes, I'd suggest peeling the skins first.

    If you'd like, you can make this more of a bisque or chowder, by adding 1/2 cup of heavy cream at the end, but it really doesn't need it.

    Serve with lemon wedges, a nice side salad, or a crusty baguette and you have a great healthy and delicious meal.

      This looks amazing and I love seafood. My dad was a fisherman and had his own market so it was very normal to eat seafood for dinner at least three times a week. This is a great combo, I believe we have very similar taste buds.

        Well you know what they say, "Great minds think alike." I love that your dad was a fisherman. You probably are spoiled with having the best and freshest seafood ever from him.

        I was surprised at how easy and how good frozen seafood could be. I have no idea why I don't cook with it more.
